Showoffs of Out Run

If you are looking for a well bred, responsibly raised, well socializated Border Collie puppy raised by people that know what they are doing...we will have pups due approximately June 16th.

Out Run would like to welcome our newest addition: golden retriever Goose Ridge There's An App For That (Sandy).

Some of you may wonder why I would have a golden retriever. My start in the AKC performance world was with a GR that reminded me of the thinking dog I knew needed to be preserved in the Border Collie breed. I learned competition obedience with Ginger and was hooked.

After looking for years for a healthy, highly trainable pup from a breeder that raises pups with the knowledge to make the most of the talents the young litter naturally has from the start....we have Sandy!!!

She already has been to classes, trails, visits with over 100 people (just with me!), starting her obedience work, outdoor walks, housebreaking, crate training, car rides, leash training, sitting for petting, door manners, and recalls. All in fun.

My overall goal is a highly competitive obedience teammate. I was told she is very birdy so I'm sure we will take a trip or many to the trainer in Coshocton to see what hunting interests she holds.

Welcome Sandy.

If you are too busy to train a dog, PLEASE DO NOT GET A DOG!!!!

I never saw anything so lame. Have a baby, let a screen raise it!!!

How with this training program housebreak your dog? How will it teach leave it, drop it, off?

Out Run went to the NY shows with Fallfire last week.

Morgan and Tesla trialed on Thursday in Preferred Novice under judge Charles Marcantonio. They earned scores in the 190s with a 1st and 2nd place. Morgan finished her title.

Friday obedience was better, Tesla earned a 196 1/2, 1st place and her title. Morgan had a 194, 2nd place and a spare leg under judge Denise Lacroix.

No obedience entered on Saturday.

Haze showed in conformation under judge Krista Hansen earning a select.

Sky showed in a large BBE class on Saturday under Jimmy Moses placing 2nd. It was a good experience for her.

Looking for a low keyed dog to hang out with you? Just want a walking partner? Want a Netflix and Chill Border Collie?

I have a three year old small black and white female looking for a retirement home. She loves dogs, cats, kids.

All vet care up to date, will be spayed, crate trained, leash manners, good on the grooming table and in the bath, house broke, low keyed, low energy. Not a performance dog. Not a training dog. Couch potato 100%.

Needs a fenced yard. A recall isn't her best skill. But she is the most laid back Border Collie. She doesn't demand exercise, she doesn't play fetch, she will not wake you up to go running.

Dog trainer knowledge chart.

Those trainers that think they know it all know far less than this chart reflects 🤣

A topic often asked, and yes, it is a risk but if puppy isn't out and about in the world before 12 weeks old you will lose out in the socialization window.

Be smart. No dog parks. No parks. Don't allow your pup to walk in a pet store, vet office, or any place pets visit. Don't potty your pup where others potty their pups/dogs.

Do find puppy preschool classes. Training is important! Training with other people with other dogs in a different environment is very important.

Waiting until your puppy has had all its shots to start socialization is one of the biggest mistakes you can make as a dog owner.

The best time to socialize your puppy is from 12-16 weeks of age. It’s the tail end of the Critical Socialization Window.

You just need to be smart about it.

Parvo, which is what vets worry about, is spread through contaminated f***s and environments. It can be tracked into your house on your shoes.

So avoid heavily pet-trafficked areas.

Don’t go to dog parks.

Don’t go to pet stores.

Carry your puppy into the vet.

Steer clear of dog potty spots, and you will set yourself up for success as much as possible.

If you simply don’t socialize your puppy until after its shots are done, you run the risk of having a fearful dog because you failed to socialize your pup when it mattered most.

The best trainer in the world can’t get that time back for you. You’ve got an uphill battle ahead.

If your dog is going to be a service dog, or a therapy dog, a personal protection dog, or any dog with an important job, then you especially need to socialize him.

Wait…and you might have to wash him.

You don’t get that time back.

From 12-16 weeks of age, your puppy should be going on field trips nearly every other day. It’s a lot, yes. But it’s an investment that will pay dividends in the future.

Don’t wait. Be smart. Be safe. And get out there and show your puppies the good world! ✨

Oh...so true. If your dog doesn't eat on a feeding schedule, then you either have a sick dog, stud dog with girls in season or you are overfeeding.

03/06/2023

I love this...so many have a different definition of a label. For one, I wouldn't consider a balanced trainer using shock collars, but there it is.

Ask, watch, learn...and if you don't like what you see/learn...move on!!!

Team Cherry went WB for a 4 point major at the Medina Kennel Club show! Huge thank you to Diana James for your talented handling skills 👏

Honestly think never mess with my dog's food once I give it to him/her. Lord forbid you take my plate away. Just let them eat. Train them the rest of the day.
